Witnesses: DA Bullied Testimony That Put Rapper Away For 30 Years

ST. TAMMANY PARISH, La. — Fourteen years after rapper McKinley “Mac” Phipps was convicted of manslaughter in the shooting death of a teenage fan at a show, five prosecution witnesses have told The Huffington Post that police and prosecutors bullied them into fingering the once-promising hip-hop artist as the gunman.

The star witness, Yulon James, who testified she saw Phipps fire the fatal shot, said she was repeatedly threatened by the parish district attorney’s office, headed by DA Walter Reed, who left office in January amid a reported federal grand jury investigation into campaign funds and side businesses.

“They stalked my house, they stalked my job and they stalked my family,” said James, who now acknowledges she “didn’t see anything” and testified falsely against Phipps. “The DA came over to my parents’ house and told me I would have my baby in prison if I didn’t testify.”

Reed’s office has not responded to calls and emails from The Huffington Post, nor has his attorney, Richard T. Simmons. The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office declined to comment.

James said she came forward with the story because Reed is no longer in power. Reed’s 30-year run as DA ended this year after he decided not to seek a seventh term amid the ongoing investigation. There has been no indication that the probe involves cases his office prosecuted.

In a four-month review of Phipps’ conviction, The Huffington Post identified four other witnesses — former nightclub owner Dwight Guyot, the victim’s cousin Jerry Price, Phipps’ cousin Larnell Warren and club-goer Jamie Wilson — who said they were threatened, jailed or flat-out ignored by authorities. The claims, along with James’ recantation, appear to cast doubt on Phipps’ conviction.

how is that whenever you post a news story we can safely assume that a black man was "wronged"? I mean naturally all kinds of people would be featured in news stories if you did not pick them up based on race.

SBJ · 03-21-2015, 07:14 PM

off topic but is anyone watching the tv show called American Crime? I've watched the first 3 episodes and still not sure if it will be a good show or not.

He's the self-appointed GFY black champion...mistakenly believing that what he's continually posting is somehow making a difference.

I'm watching it and I think it is fantastic. It is well acted, well written and complex. Hopefully they can keep this energy going for a full season.

ya I'm just not sure where they are going with it. Is it going to be like the movie Traffic or what. Seems like it is going to be about a lot of different races being racist.. lol so I assumed all of gfy would be watching it.

It's dvred for the season but so far it's only mildly grabbed my attention.

Nothing new! Seems like there is always news about DA/prosecutor misconduct! Justice is only for those who can afford it!

Excellent question. Maybe they would start the first successful black country in the world. So far none of those exist, except South African Republic and that is just because there were whites governing things, lol.
You may hate, but it is truth
